Cisco Enterprise Routers Reviews

We are using Cisco Enterprise Routers for network switching for an education institute.

The solution has been highly secure.

I have been using Cisco Enterprise Routers for approximately five years.

The solution is highly stable.

The solution is scalable.

We have approximately 700 people using this solution in my organization.

We have received high-level support from Cisco, it has been great. 

We have previously used other solutions than Cisco but we are getting rid of them.

The installation can be difficult, Cisco equipment is professional-grade and it requires someone with the skills and knowledge to do it.

The installation could be made easier and better documentation is needed.

We are on a three-year license and since we use the solution in an educational institute it is priced reasonably.

I would recommend Cisco Enterprise Routers to others. Cisco provides the best network devices.

I rate Cisco Enterprise Routers a ten out of ten.

We use Cisco Enterprise Routers mostly for the core network and in a satellite network. We use the equipment to connect our equipment to the internet and provide a robust infrastructure to satellite equipment.
It's a complement of the satellite network, and mostly all the switches and routers that we use are from Cisco. Only the permanent equipment for our modems and the modulators are satellite equipment.

It's a sound solution, so it's very easy to solve problems without a support contract, as mainly the problems we have related to the equipment can be solved by doing a Google search. Because it's a very well known solution, there are books on problems. It's a solution that fits us, as we probably can't afford a very expensive contract.

It is stable and scalable, and it can be set up fast.

It can be very expensive, sometimes, to do the jump to the next router for your needs. It will be great if you can buy a variable router and then upgrade or enable features as you grow. Otherwise, it can become very expensive to have robust equipment.

In the next release, I would like to see more free SD-WAN features and vertical solutions.

I've been using this solution for more than 10 years.

It's a pretty stable solution. We have not had to reboot in a couple of years. It's very rare that we need to reboot a router or a switch.

It is a scalable solution.

The basic configuration can be setup in a day.

It's not probably the best solution if you have a very limited budget, as it can become very expensive to have robust equipment.

If you want an easy solution to keep your network running in a very short time, Cisco Enterprise Routers is a good option. It's not probably the best solution if you have a very limited budget.

On a scale from one to ten, I would rate Cisco Enterprise Routers at nine.

We are not a big organization. We are using Cyberoam and Cisco Routers for our traffic. We are using the 5501 model.

Cisco Enterprise Routers are simple. Everything is in a proper manner. You don't need to upgrade or do other things on a daily basis. Cisco sends you the updates, and they are automatically updated. They are good.

They take too much time to reboot or restart. Whenever we hard reset them, they take time. Cisco should resolve this issue.

I have been using this solution for around six to seven years.

They are stable. We haven't faced any issues.

Their technical support is good. They will help you in a proper and decent manner. They are calm. Every time you have a lot of questions or queries, they will come back to you with a positive response.

Their initial setup is normal. You need to configure DHCP and other things.

The price of Cisco Enterprise Routers is good for the service that you get.

I would recommend this solution. Everything is good. Cisco is a good company, and Cisco products are good.

I would rate Cisco Enterprise Routers a nine out of ten.

Our client primarily uses the solution for a Computer Base Test Center.

The durability of the solution is excellent.

They offer a variety of very good features.

The pricing of the solution needs improvement.

The solution is usually stable. It could be based on design, but on a particular router that I received, I noticed it started overheating at one point, so it kept shutting down. This may be because of where I purchased the router, however.

The initial setup of the solution is quite easy if you are a technical person. If you are not a technical person it can take a while. A technical person should be able to deploy it in 25-45 minutes.

We use the enterprise version of the solution. I deploy it for our clients.

I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.

Our primary use for this solution is MPLS and Internet routing.

I am a network architect and this is one of the solutions that I have worked with.

We are required to build an MPLS network in our company, and this solution has been very useful.

The most valuable features of this solution are MPLS, BGP, and VRF.

The support for SD-WAN technology is not mature yet.

I would like to see the setup time reduced.

We have no issues with respect to stability. It is ok.

Scalability is ok.

I have not recently been in contact with technical support because it is the operational team that would deal with opening tickets. However, when I dealt with them several years ago, I was satisfied most of the time.

The setup of enterprise routers is primarily hardware and it takes a long time to set up.

Our in-house team performed the deployment.

The price of this solution is high.

In one or two years, once SD-WAN is more mature, we may switch from our traditional routers and protocols to be completely integrated with SD-WAN.

My advice for anybody who is implementing this solution is to consider the routing that is needed because it can change the way you set up and deploy. There are differences between MPLS, internet routing, and office connectivity. SD-WAN will also be something to look into.

This is a good solution, but it's not perfect.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

This is the Enterprise Class solution for Routing, all technologies needs for now and for the future are supported. Everything is well documented in Cisco DOC site, with a lot of deployment scenarios as well in others sites around the web. Technically it is incontestable.

Solved most communications needs and trouble scenarios.

I cannot see any, maybe more new technologies that we unknown.

For eight years and counting.

A lot, but the majority is due to vendor incompatibility with others and errors in deployment.

None.

It dependent of the scenario and technical use and needs.

Very good.

Very Good.

Yes, it depends of the customer's budget and management directions.

Very easy in all the ways.

In-house one.

It is can be very expensive and licensing complex.

Yes, Juniper and Brocade solutions.

Cisco Enterprise Routers are helpful to connect customers to service providers. We can use hardware or software, such as SD-WAN. The Cisco antenna for SD-WAN is good. The solution is an easy setup.

The most valuable features of Cisco Enterprise Routers are the routing tables, and backup solutions available for local sites, and you can use it as a router gateway or simple IPS. They have simple firewalls, that we can use rules to filter traffic.

Cisco Enterprise Router's price could improve, they are expensive.

I have been using Cisco Enterprise Routers for approximately 15 years.

Cisco Enterprise Routers is stable.

I have found Cisco Enterprise Routers to be scalable.

We have approximately 300 clients using this solution.

Cisco Enterprise Routers come installed with its OS. They are easy to configure initially. However, it can depend on the design or features that you use. The initial setup is easy and takes approximately five minutes.

If Cisco Enterprise Routers could be less expensive it would be better. In Turkey, clients prefer cheap solutions, but working solutions.

There is a license needed to enable some features. If you want support from Cisco then you need to purchase it. However, it includes operating system upgrades.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Cisco Enterprise Routers an eight out of ten.

We are using it as a voice gateway. We need to connect with PSTN, and we are communicating with the outside world through this router.

Its performance and stability are most valuable. We are using it for the last five years, and it is constantly up. It didn't create any problems for us.

It is very easy to use. The handling of the device is very easy. It doesn't require any maintenance. After many months in a year, we bring it down, and we just do the normal cleaning and maintenance of the device. 

If Cisco can give you one license and allow you to use all the features, that would be the best thing. We are using it only as a voice gateway, and there are other options available, but we need to procure licenses to use those options. We can use it as a security device, or we can use it for connecting the LAN side, but for that, we need all those licenses. They can provide one license and allow you to use all the features. This is my recommendation for Cisco.

It is quite costly. It would be great if they can reduce its price.

I have been using this solution for five years.

It is very stable.

We didn't contact them so far.

Its installation is quite straightforward. Cisco provides plenty of helpful documents. There are many videos available on YouTube and Cisco's site to provide us the required information. So, it was not a problem for us.

It is quite costly. Its price should be reduced.

I would highly recommend this solution to other users. It is very reliable, and its performance is good.

I would rate Cisco Enterprise Routers a 10 out of 10.
